Attacks have fallen since the government crackdown after the 2014 Army Public School attack and the Taliban have been squeezed into small pockets of territory.

However, militant groups remain able to launch sporadic attacks on security forces and civilian targets. Two Pakistani employees of the US consulate in Peshawar and some soldiers were killed by a bomb while on a drug-eradication mission earlier this month.

Two questions from authorities.
If the destination of the bus was Civil Secretariat, what was it doing in Saddar area? Because their terminal point is in the vicinity of Central Jail. May be the target was someother place.
The Provincial Government instructed the public transport a couple of years agoto remove CNG cylinders from buses and vans, why was this unfortunate bus still using four CNG cylinders as the major damage was caused by the cylinders?Recommend

First and foremost we condemn the senseless killing of 15 government employees in a bus blast. Our heartfelt prayers go out to the families of people killed, and we hope for early and complete recovery of people injured in today’s attack. There are desperate terrorist on the run; attacking soft targets to install fear and hopelessness among the masses. All concerned parties have to work together and go after the terrorist networks to eliminate there kind of attacks altogether.

There is no paradise on the route to phoenixl! Those who have called foi the military solution are now following the path of what occurred in former east Pakistan and is being experienced in the middle east for over five years, with ultimate foreign intervention.

@Parvez: Stop playing childish politics when innocent people are being targeted by cowards. No one of any party wants foreign funded criminals to harm civilians. Neither Imran, Nawaz, Zardari or anyone else. Society needs to continue to work together to defeat these cowards who can only attach children, women and civilians on buses now that they are being defeated. Every now and then the cowards will try to scare people but do not let yourself be led into blame games which is what they want. The public should remain united and work together to root out such cowards before they strike. Recommend
